Emission Factors:EPA Supply Chain GHG Emission Factors by NAICS-6

2025-05-11T16:05:14Z

{{EFArticle
| Database Name = EPA Supply Chain GHG Emission Factors by NAICS-6
| Description = The EPA Supply Chain GHG Emission Factors estimate the GHG emissions indirectly and directly associated with a U.S. commodity or industry per dollar from the beginning of its lifecycle to the customer.
| Data Type = Spend-based
| Publisher Type = National Government
| Number of Factors = 1,016
| Database Format = Excel
| Last Update = 2024
| Update Frequency = Annual
| Cost = Free
| Link = [https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/supply-chain-greenhouse-gas-emission-factors-v1-3-by-naics-6 EPA Supply Chain GHG Emission Factors by NAICS-6]
| When to use = The Factors are primarily intended for use in spend-based Scope 3 GHG accounting and reporting.

Use the "With Margins" emissions factors when you have not gathered data on the transportation of products or service providers separately. If you have gathered this data, then calculate the emissions from transportation separately and use the "Without Margins" emissions factors.
| Limitations = Factor values are calculated using a model that assumes all vendors, commodity sourcing, and other supply chain participants are US-based. This likely introduces some inaccuracy due to the global nature of a modern supply chain, and makes it challenging to determine emission differences in supply chain activities that are shifted to countries with lower emissions-generating sectors.

Residual Mix and Default Grid Emission Factors

If a company does not buy Green-e certified RECs or other contractual instruments, it must use either:
A residual mix factor (if available) reflecting the emissions of the remaining grid electricity after factoring out renewable energy claims.
